5 Christmas Card Ideas the Whole Family Will Love

Sending holiday cards is a beautiful way to share festive memories with friends and family. Why not add a fun twist to this year’s cards? From cozy pajama themes to playful backdrops, here are five ideas to create a Christmas card everyone in the family will love.

1. Cozy Pajama Morning | Capture a warm and cozy holiday morning with a family pajama-themed card. Everyone can dress up in matching Christmas pajamas for an adorable, relaxed photo. Sit around the tree with hot cocoa mugs, or capture a spontaneous moment while opening presents. Get the little ones in the biggest bed and take a few photos of them smiling, then capture some candids while they have a pillow fight! Any of our matching family pajamas are perfect for creating a card that feels heartfelt and homey. Add festive props like Santa hats, reindeer ears, or holiday mugs to keep it fun and casual!

2. Happy Holiday Campers | If you live near an evergreen forest or wooded spot (or if you can plan a seasonal photography session on a family camping trip), take advantage of the natural backdrop for a “Happy Campers” portrait. Dress the family in warm onesies or matching pajamas with hats, scarves, and mittens. You can bring blankets and mugs to capture the feeling of a cozy morning in the great outdoors. Take a few candid photos of the little ones bundled up in our bear critter caps and bear paw mittens with Mama Bear and Papa Bear to add an extra touch of warmth and cuteness to the scene!

3. Holiday Baking Fun | Get cozy in the kitchen with a holiday baking-themed card. Set up a cookie-decorating or gingerbread house-building station and capture candid moments of everyone baking together. This theme shows off the fun side of the season and creates a cute, nostalgic photo full of personality. Our gingerbread Sweet Cheeks Pajamas are perfect for this one. Add aprons and keep your pajamas on underneath for a cute, casual look. Add a little bit of flour or icing on noses and cheeks for extra charm!

4. Reindeer Games Family Portrait | Bring the magic of Santa’s reindeer right into your holiday card with a reindeer theme. Have everyone wear reindeer antler headbands and maybe even a red nose for the youngest “reindeer” to add a playful touch. Try any of our reindeer-themed designs like our Lights Out Matching Christmas Pajamas or Christmas with the Herd Family Matching Pajamas.

5. Classic Black and White Elegance | For a more timeless look, consider a classic black-and-white theme for your Christmas card. Everyone can wear black and white buffalo plaid or solid color sleepwear and you can use cozy blankets or simple holiday props like candy canes. Black and white gives a refined, vintage feel, making it perfect for mantel displays and keepsakes. If you want to add a little cheer, a splash of color works well with small, fun details like red scarves and green mittens or a Santa hat. For a matching black and white pajama set with a festive pop of Christmas red, try our Tailgate Matching Christmas Pajamas.
